Adding reinforcement belts and struts to Captek copings puts added thickness strategically where it is needed without increasing material thickness and cost where it is not needed. The purpose of this technique is to build stronger and more stable copings, in high stress clinical situations such as: high risk posterior occlusion, 2nd & 3rd molars, implants, bridge abutments, press porcelain to Captek, etc. This is a quick and simple technique for strategically adding reinforcement belts and struts with any of Captek Nano materials.
The attached photos were taken by Joshua Fitzgerald. The framework was done by Tiffany Scienski and porcelain work done by Joshua Fitzgerald. The material used was Captek Nano Universal P&G and Ceramco 3 porcelain. They are loving the results they are getting with the final fits and seeing great results with the added reinforcements.
